Abstract:
In recent years the manufacturing of Nb3Sn or V3Ga composite wires by the bronze process has been mastered. Nb3Sn was investigated more intensively than V3Ga [1,2] although in high fields V3Ga is expected to be superior [3]. Accordingly V3Ga tape was used in a 17.5 Tesla magnet [4] and multifilamentary V3Ga conductor in a 10 Tesla magnet [5]. In this paper we describe an 11 Tesla V3Ga-NbTi magnet system, the V3Ga conductor being produced in our laboratory [6]. A numerical quench analysis for the system is presented.
